Xie Wen and the cats covered their ears with practiced ease, their expressions perfectly calm.
After all, compared with Klee Meow's Sonic Bombs, Laboon's roaring was nothing special.
Crocus, standing nearby, panicked. "Oh no! I was so busy chatting that I forgot to give Laboon his sedative!"
As he spoke, he made to jump into the sea, only for Xie Wen to grab him.

After a period of training, Hua Mei Meow could release and withdraw her Conqueror's Haki at will, and her control was excellent. She had even begun trying to practice Conqueror's Coating.
